@privateeyeruss Men use money to qualify more women. Women use money to disqualify more men.

Women are not generous creatures. They are generally self-centered and some of them can even be called greedy. Men are the generous ones out of the two sexes.

A psychologist at Stanford ran an experiment on four-year-olds in 1972 that the entire self-help industry has been misquoting for fifty years, and the real story behind it is far more uncomfortable than the one you have been told. His name was Walter Mischel. The experiment was simple. Sit a four-year-old at a table. Put one marshmallow in front of them. Tell them they can eat it now, or wait 15 minutes and get two. Then leave the room and watch what happens. Some kids ate it in seconds. Others held out for the full 15. Mischel did not stop there. He tracked those same kids for the next 40 years. The ones who waited the longest had higher test scores as teens. They were thinner as adults. They had better relationships. They earned more money. They were less likely to have drug problems. The pattern held across almost every measure of how their adult life turned out. For decades, the story was that the experiment proved willpower was destiny. The kids who resisted had a strength the others lacked, and it carried them through life like a tailwind. Every self-help book quoted it for forty years. The story was wrong. A team at NYU rebuilt the experiment in 2018 with a bigger group of kids from very different homes. The original result almost disappeared the moment they looked at family income and how stable each kid's home was. Kids from homes where food was uncertain were far less likely to wait. And the reason was not weakness. A child whose kitchen might be empty next week has no real reason to believe a second marshmallow will ever show up. The smart move in a world you cannot trust is to take what is in front of you while you can. The kids who waited were not stronger. They just trusted the adult who made the promise. That one reframe changes everything you think you know about self-discipline. Patience is not a trait you are born with. It is a belief that the future you are saving for will actually arrive. Kids who grow up watching adults keep their word learn that waiting pays off. Kids who grow up watching adults break their word learn that waiting is for fools. That belief becomes a quiet operating system that shapes every choice you make for the rest of your life. Whether you save money. Whether you finish what you start. Whether you bet on a future version of yourself that has not arrived yet. All of it traces back to a guess you made about the world when you were too young to know you were guessing. The most uncomfortable line from Mischel came near the end of his life. He said the test was never about willpower. It was about whether the world had given the child enough proof to bet on tomorrow. Most adults walking around right now made that bet a long time ago without knowing they were making it. The ones who bet yes became patient. The ones who bet no became impulsive. And almost nobody has gone back to ask whether the world they stopped trusting as a kid is still the world they live in today. The good news is that the belief can be rebuilt. Every time you keep a promise to yourself, the four-year-old still sitting at that table watches it happen. And slowly, that child starts to believe the world is different now. You are not low on willpower. You are running on a guess you made about the future before you knew you were making it. The fix is not to push harder. The fix is to start being the adult the child inside you never had.

My uncle has been married 22 years. His wife still lights up when he walks in. I asked what he does differently. He said: "I never text her what she wants to hear. I text her what she needs to think about." I didn't understand it until I asked his wife. She showed me this 👇🏻

Elon Musk reveals the single idea that explains why he keeps working despite being worth $800 billion "When I was a teenager, I had an existential crisis trying to figure out what's the meaning of life. It doesn't seem to be any meaning" "For me at least, the religious texts that I read did not seem convincing. Then I started reading the philosophers. You have to be careful of reading German philosophers as a teenager. It's definitely not going to help with your depression" "Reading Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, as a kid you're like, whoa" "Then I read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. What Douglas Adams was saying is that we don't really know what the right questions are to ask. The real problem is trying to formulate the question. To really have the right question, you need a much bigger computer than Earth" "The universe is the answer. What is the question? Or what are the questions?" "The more we can expand the scope and scale of consciousness, the better we can understand what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe" "The more we can expand consciousness, become a multi-planet species, ultimately a multi-stellar species, we have a chance of figuring out what the hell's going on" "This is why I think we should have more humans and more digital, both biological and digital consciousness"

70% of wealthy families lose their fortune by the second generation. A 20-year study of 3,200 families found the number one cause: unprepared heirs who never developed urgency because they never had to. Mr. Wonderful built a trust that pays for everything from birth through the last day of college. Then zero. That structure does something most parenting advice never touches: it makes the deadline visible. Trevor was failing high school when he asked how his trust worked. O'Leary told him the truth: if you only finish high school, I'm dead and you're broke. The kid could see the exact moment his safety net disappears. He got his grades up, got into Harvard, became an engineer, worked at Tesla. Kahneman's research on loss aversion shows losing something feels roughly twice as painful as gaining the equivalent. Most wealthy parents motivate with future rewards. O'Leary showed his son what he already had, then showed him exactly when he'd lose it. That asymmetry moved the needle where years of lecturing didn't. The part that makes this land differently: his mother Georgette did the same thing to him. Paid for his college, showed up at graduation, told him the money was done. "The dead bird under the nest never learns to fly." He built SoftKey, sold it, accumulated $400 million. Then he built the same mechanism for his own kids. 65% of American parents provide financial support to their kids between ages 22 and 40. The wealthiest generation in history is about to transfer $84 trillion to their children over the next two decades. Most of that money will vanish within one generation because the heirs never saw the cliff. The trust has a cutoff date. That cutoff date is the real inheritance.

Notice how it's usually the fathers doing girly things to indulge the daughters and rarely ever the mothers engaging in boyish stuff to entertain their sons? Women are neither minded to nor sufficiently capable of mimicking masculinity because the masculine is a higher human condition. But men can lower themselves into femininity or mimic it because the feminine is an inferior one. Much easier to fall than it is to rise This is also why there are far more trans women than trans men. So the feminist, progressive, and liberal agenda isn't just to attempt to masculanise women because that alone wouldn't cut it. The primary goal is to feminise men. And this is just one of many ways through which that agenda manifests

Liberty can only exist if there is order. Order can only exist if there is peace. Peace can only exist if there is victory. Victory can only exist if there is power. The means do not justify the ends.

@AuronMacintyre @_kruptos I once had a guy who owned multiple bars candidly tell me that he cares more about the music played at his bars than anything else. "You start playing music that attracts a certain crowd, and you might as well close down and start over."

@ythorn3 @Devon_Eriksen_ His essay on the English language & usage is fantastic, IMO. Super entertaining & informative

@Devon_Eriksen_ I started reading his book of essays, but I couldn't get through much of it. His insights seemed banal, and his writing style wasn't interesting. What is supposed to be the appeal? That he wore a bandana and offed himself?

Someone once told me that David Foster Wallace's "Infinite Jest" must have gone over my head. It did not. It went over my shoulder.

Your goal only matters if it is actually your mission. Many people chase the mansion, the luxury car, the status symbol, and still feel empty because the goal was never truly theirs. It was the default goal handed to them by the outside world. The test is simple. We have all seen someone finish something meaningful, big or small, and suddenly carry a different light in their eyes. That life energy is the signal. Luxury is not the problem. Wealth is not the problem. A mansion or a car can be part of a real mission. The question is whether you truly want it. Or whether you were taught to believe you should.

This 30 seconds of footage is doing more for that baby's brain than any flashcard, screen app, or "educational" toy on the market. MIT has the brain scans to prove it. Rachel Romeo's 2018 study put LENA recorders in 36 families' homes for a weekend and counted everything: total words, child-directed words, back-and-forth conversational turns. The kids were brought in for fMRI scans while they listened to stories. The ones with more conversational turns showed stronger activation in Broca's area, the brain's speech production center, with the effect holding after controlling for parent income, IQ, and total word count. The active ingredient is the trading. The pauses are doing as much work as the words. Watch what the dad is actually running: Vocal turn-taking. The baby babbles, the dad pauses, the dad responds, the baby waits, the baby babbles again. This pattern emerges around 2-3 months and becomes the foundation of every conversation that human will have for the rest of their life. Joint attention. They're locked onto each other's faces, reading expressions, syncing reactions. Joint attention shows up around 9 months and predicts language development and social cognition for years afterward. The absence of joint attention by 18 months is one of the earliest signals pediatricians screen for autism. Coregulation. The baby can't self-soothe yet. Its nervous system is using the dad's calm, attentive state as a regulation template. Every time the baby gets excited and the dad meets the energy with engaged calm, the vagus nerve is learning what regulated arousal feels like. The reverse case is in the literature. Edward Tronick's 1975 "still face" experiment had mothers interact normally with their babies, then go completely flat-faced and unresponsive for three minutes. The babies "rapidly sobered and grew wary," tried desperately to restart the loop, then withdrew with what Tronick called a "hopeless facial expression." It remains one of the most replicated findings in developmental psychology. The face is the curriculum. The pauses are the lessons.

A truly healthy, lifelong relationship is incredibly boring, and that is exactly what makes it beautiful. The internet tells you to constantly chase butterflies, toxic sparks, and cinematic grand gestures. But real love is just two people doing grocery shopping, managing a household, and sitting in silence on the couch without any underlying anxiety. If your relationship feels "boring," you didn't lose the spark, you finally achieved absolute peace

@unethicalaccel @Devon_Eriksen_ 😆

@Devon_Eriksen_ These people must be so nervous when they make a recipe that it doesn't come out as some random other food.

@privateeyeruss I believe it! Children need competent fathers

@finishmymath They are well deserved. If you knew how much destructive behavior I prevented her from inserting into my son's life you would cringe.

My son's dumbass kindergarten teachers suggested we put my son on different drugs because he had so much energy. My dumbass ex-wife wanted to comply. I told both of them to go screw themselves. All I did was take my son to the park in the morning for 45 minutes before school. Boys need exercise. They need movement they don't need all these drugs that destroy their lives. Today my son is currently going to college on an academic scholarship and healthy. No drugs.

@FWPlayboy Add "high need for stimulation" to this list. If she is incapable of just staying home & relaxing with a partner, definitely a bad sign.

How to discern a girls SEXUAL HISTORY indirectly. Can’t do it on a first date but.. -Are her girlfriends hoes? -Lots of “travel” is a negative -Did she date known Players before? -Long gaps where she’s “single” (girls are NEVER single) -Lives alone (anonymity) -Phone (all girls have orbiters) LOTS of nudes you haven’t seen before -Random hook-up Stories (that keep adding up) -“Slut it up” jobs Bartender Stripper Attorney Real Estate Consultant (travel) Flight Attendant Etc.. -Reverse Cowgirl Test (Rivelino)

The older I get the more I realize luck is mostly exposure. The men who seem to get lucky are not blessed. They are just out in the world more. Different rooms. Different people. Different conversations. If your routine has been the same for five years, your luck will be the same for five years. Move around. Talk to strangers. Show up where you do not normally go. The rest of your life is sitting in a room you have not walked into yet.

A kid drew himself sleeping in bed between mom and dad and labeled it 'safe.' In Japan, this exact sleeping arrangement has a name. They call it 'the river.' Mother is one bank. Father is the other. The child between them is the water. Roughly 70% of Japanese mothers sleep this way with their kids, sometimes through the teenage years. The Western model of putting a kid alone in their own bedroom is barely 200 years old. For most of human history, in most cultures still alive today, kids slept beside their parents. James McKenna runs the Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Lab at Notre Dame. He spent decades watching what happens when parents and kids share a bed. The bodies sync up. Heart rates align with the parent's, breathing falls into the same rhythm, and by morning even sleep stages have started matching. The parent's body, in McKenna's words, acts as a kind of biological jumper cable for the child's. In 2013, researchers in the Netherlands tracked 193 babies through the first year of life. They measured cortisol, the brain's main stress hormone. Babies who had spent more weeks co-sleeping in the first six months produced less cortisol under stress at 12 months. Sleeping near a parent had rewired the kid's stress system to be calmer under pressure. Inside the kid's brain at night, the amygdala, the fear alarm, gets more sensitive as the body gets tired. Darkness makes it worse. A 2021 paper in PLoS One from Australian researchers showed that light directly suppresses amygdala activity. Lights off, alarm louder. The whole brain is wired to read 'alone in a dark room' as a threat. Now add a parent's body to that bed. The kid's nervous system reads warm body, breathing nearby, familiar smell. The threat alarm dials down. Two parents on either side dial it down twice. The drawing is the kid's brain calculating maximum safety: I am surrounded by the people who keep me alive, and nothing can reach me without going through them first. The arrangement in this drawing is what most of human history called 'sleeping.' Sleeping the kid alone in another room is a 200-year-old Western invention that we forgot was an invention. Every kid who has ever padded into your room at 3am and crawled into the middle of the bed is just trying to redraw the picture.

Winston Churchill fought his depression with bricks. He'd lay them for hours at his country home in Kent. He joined the bricklayers' union. And in 1921 he wrote about why it worked. It took psychology another 75 years to catch up. He called his depression the "Black Dog." It followed him for decades. His method for fighting it back was as basic as it sounds: laying brick after brick, hour after hour. Churchill spelled out his theory in a long essay for The Strand Magazine. People who think for a living, he wrote, can't fix a tired brain just by resting it. They have to use a different part of themselves. The part that moves the eyes and the hands. Woodworking, chemistry, bookbinding, bricklaying, painting. Anything that drags the body into a problem the mind can't solve by itself. Modern psychology now calls this behavioral activation. It's one of the most-studied depression treatments out there. Depression sets a behavior trap. You feel bad, so you stop doing things, and doing less means less to feel good about. Feeling worse makes you do even less. The loop tightens until you can't breathe inside it. Behavioral activation breaks the loop from the action side. You schedule the activity first, even when every part of you doesn't want to. Doing it produces small rewards: a wall gets straighter, a painting fills in, a messy room gets clean. Those small rewards slowly rewire the brain. Action comes first, and the feeling follows. Researchers at the University of Washington put this to the test in 2006. They studied 241 adults with major depression and compared three treatments: behavioral activation, regular talk therapy, and antidepressants. For the people who were most severely depressed, behavioral activation matched the drugs. It beat the talk therapy. A 2014 review of more than 1,500 patients across 26 trials backed up the result. Physical work like bricklaying does something extra on top of this. It crowds out rumination, the looping bad thoughts that grind people down during the worst stretches of depression. Bricklaying needs both hands and gives feedback brick by brick: each one is straight or crooked. After an hour you can see exactly how much wall you built. No room left for the mental chewing. The line George Mack used in his post, "depression hates a moving target," is good poetry. The science behind it is sharper. Depression hates a brain that has somewhere else to be.
